The Lift Legend initiative runs until Saturday, January 1 and officers say it is a modern approach to the annual Christmas campaign. On the purchase of their first soft drink, ‘Life Legend’ drivers will receive a voucher to have a second free of charge at participating venues.
A spokesperson said: ‘With many social occasions in December, we recognise people may be more tempted to get behind the wheel after a night out. We will be requiring breath tests from all drivers who commit a moving road traffic offence, irrespective of whether or not they’re suspected a drink driving offence as well as carrying out intelligence-led fixed site checks.’
Devon and Cornwall police and crime commissioner Alison Hernandez added: ‘Drink driving is completely unacceptable – it puts the driver, passengers and innocent members of the public at substantial risk.’
